Candy: A Poem

By Mark Strand

2004
Jeweled Manuscript
Beige morocco and blue patterned paste paper
Paper wrapper

Four one-of-a-kind manuscripts were handwritten by Mr. Strand, then bound in full-leather with a unique suite of
original monoprints by Ms. Mark. Each of the four books are set with a combination of opal, periodot, topaz and carnelian cabochons.

A facsimile edition of 1,000 copies is printed letterpress from the hand-written manuscript. The monotypes by
Wendy Mark were made especially for this edition and reproduced from her originals via offset lithography. Each copy is individually numbered.

Copies 1-50 have been bound in half-leather in beige morocco leather with handmade paste paper and marble paper, and presented in a black, velvet-lined linen traycase.

The balance of the edition (numbers 51-1,000) are bound in letterpress-printed paper wrappers.
